More quotes by David Levithan
It's as if when you love someone, they become your reason. And maybe I've gotten it backward, maybe it's just because I need a reason that I find myself falling in love with her. But I don't think that's it. I think I would have continued along, oblivious, if I hadn't happened to meet her.

Breathing, n You had asthma as a child, had to carry around an inhaler. But when you grew older, it went away. You could run for miles and it was fine. Sometimes I worry that this is happening to me in reverse. The older I get, the more I lose my ability to breathe.
David Levithan
When someone breaks up with you, their beauty-- which you took such satisfaction in-- suddenly becomes unfair.
David Levithan
I always think of each night as a song. Or each moment as a song. But now I'm seeing we don't live in a single song. We move from song to song, from lyric to lyric, from chord to chord. There is no ending here. It's an infinite playlist.
David Levithan
That's what the voices in your head are for, to get you through the silent parts.

Things rarely get fixed the way they need to be.
David Levithan
I suspected that what happens in hotel rooms rarely lasts outside of them. I suspected that when something was a beginning and an ending at the same time, that meant it could only exist in the present.
David Levithan
Once the storm comes out, the landscape changes. What you had before is altered in some way. And you have a choice: build something new and better from what is left or abandon it.
David Levithan
I can take everything on her face at face value, and that's valuable in a friend.
David Levithan
People often say that when couples are married for a long time, they start to look alike. I don't believe that. But I do believe their sentences start to look alike.
David Levithan
If you zoom close-if you get really close to someone, if you really get close to yourself-then you lose the other person, you lose yourself entirely. You get so close you can't see anything anymore.
David Levithan
It would be too easy to say that I feel invisible. Instead, I feel painfully visible, and entirely ignored.
David Levithan
It is an awful thing to be betrayed by your body. And it’s lonely, because you feel you can’t talk about it.
David Levithan
this blue shirt i have is practically the same color as my jeans, and looking all-blue is something only cookie monster can pull off.
David Levithan
This is my life, I think. I am an accumulation of objects.
David Levithan
If goodness can't come from bad things, it makes bad things unbearable.
David Levithan
I guess I don't believe these things can ever be easy, although I also don't see why they have to be hard.
David Levithan
It's almost heartening to think that the attachment you have can define your perception as much as any other influence.
David Levithan
They never played games with each other, they never had tow worry where they stood, because if either of them had a moment of wavering, the other would say I love you and would mean it and all doubts were forgiven because in this one case it was found that love conquers all.
David Levithan
And still, for all the jealously, all the doubt, sometimes I will be struck with a kind of awe that we're together. That someone like me could find someone like you --- it renders me wordless. Because surely words would conspire against such luck, would protest the unlikelihood of such a turn of events.
